Shannon Briggs vs. “Rampage” Jackson?

Former 2-time heavyweight champion Shannon “The Cannon” Briggs (60-6-1, 53 KOs) and former MMA superstar world champion Quentin “Rampage” Jackson have exchanged some heated messages on social media of late. So much so that the pair would now like to settle their differences in the squared circle. Fightnews.com® spoke with each on this very topic.

Shannon Briggs: “Many people say I started online boxing trolling. That I went too far. That I bit off more than I can chew when I called out ole Suzy Q. He thinks he’s tough but he is soft just like a Suzy Q cupcake. A lot of MMA guys think boxers are soft and they wanna dive in the pool. He just dove in but I drained the pool last second. I admit their hands have evolved but never to the level where they can go a round with me. Suzy Q like I always say, ‘Let’s go champ!'”

Quinton Jackson: “Shannon has been calling me out. I’ve always wanted to try a boxing match. I figure why not? I know Shannon is a former heavyweight champ but I got thrown to the wolves at the start of my MMA career, so I’m not shy to take big fights. I want to show the boxing world that some MMA fighters can box, as well.

“I know Shannon is more experienced than me in this arena but I feel like I have the advantage because he will underestimate me. I want to shock the world and entertain them at the same time. I want to be the poster boy for MMA. The spokesperson, president, and representative of MMA vs. boxing. You smell what I’m (shitting) out here? This doesn’t stop with old ass Shannon “the she-man” Cannon but for whoever else wants to get embarrassed by losing to an MMA fighter. It’s time my sport gets the respect that it deserves.”

Another freakshow of oldmen from different sports. It'll be the same stinker like Cunningham-Mir.

"Let's go champ!"

Even though a bit silly, this would be entertaining to see. I was always wishing Briggs would have one last go at it. I guess this fight could be his curtain call.

rampage was a hell of an entertaining mma fighter..............remember that powerbomb ko of ricardo arona

Here’s hoping it’s ppv.

Yes!
Daddy needs a biscuit

For Quintons sake I'm just gonna say "Don't do it".

Rampage has been very overweight having put on about 50 lbs of what looked like pure fat for the past few years. He has a few minutes of slow punches in him before becoming a punch bag, he is not the exciting fighter he used to be unfortunately as he used to be one of my favourites.

There is a very strong likelihood we’ll see another MMA fighter embarrass a former world champion boxer, by beating them at their own game (boxing).

In my mind, it’s a case of which fighter has declined the least winning this fight, rather than the person who’s the better fighter.

I'll only watch if it's bare knuckle, and they let them juice up. Maybe let them have O2 inbetween rounds.

I think that Briggs would toy with Rampage for a few rounds, and then put him away with one of those sneaky body-punches that he's extra good at. I don't think that Briggs would go haymaker vs haymaker with Rampage.

I think that Rampage would get into extra good shape for this particular bout. I think Briggs gets him out in the 4th round nevertheless.

I still regard Briggs vs Vitali Klitschko the worst one sided beating I have ever seen a boxer receive. Well, if he thinks he still has enough brain cells left to get knocked out of his head, go ahead Shannon!
It will be my pleasure to not watch it happen and read about it later.
